Heart and lung checks for better COPD care
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at whether combined heart and lung checks can improve COPD management. If you have COPD and a heart condition, the results may help doctors better tailor your treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a COPD diagnosis from a doctor.
- You must be at least 41 years old (the trial asks for people over 40).
- Your lung function (FEV1) should be 50% or more of what's expected for your age.
- You also need to have one heart-related condition, like a history of heart disease, an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation), heart failure, or be at very high risk for heart attack or stroke.
- You should not be on long-term oxygen therapy, have an active cancer, or be pregnant.

This trial tests whether people being checked for possible lung cancer can also get improved care for a breathing condition called COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). It focuses on patients whose lung function tests show airflow problems.
This trial looks at how heart failure with preserved pumping function affects people who also have COPD. It aims to understand the course of the disease and long-term outlook.
This study looks for undiagnosed COPD in people with heart conditions like coronary heart disease, atrial fibrillation, or chronic heart failure. If you have heart disease and are over 40, you may join to see if you also have COPD and benefit from combined care.
This study looks at how COPD affects your breathing and heart health. It is for people who are newly diagnosed with COPD and have a history of smoking.
This study looks at people who have both COPD (a long-term lung condition) and a heart problem. The goal is to learn more about how these two conditions affect each other and to help doctors provide better care.
This study looks at the link between heart or blood vessel disease and lung conditions like COPD or severe asthma. It aims to better understand and improve care for people with these conditions.
